LSU Fraternity Pledge Dead is Suspected Hazing Incident

[elicampbell]

Phi Delta Theta has a national policy of Alcohol Free Housing and Hazing. They have been alcohol free since 2000. As expected Phi Delta Theta is investigating this incident.

When I was an advisor for my service fraternity, we were accused of hazing. We had a hazing investigation. It was not pretty. (We had a new member that returned from ritual with bruises on her legs. She was that one person that would walk into a bench and be bruised. We were found not guilty and the accusation was proven false.)

Tom, I believe that most GLOs have policies against hazing and punishments for offenders, not just LXA.

Just curious - how extensive is the alcohol-free housing policy? Are brothers who are of legal drinking age allowed to keep booze in their rooms? (AEPhi's policy is that even sisters who are of legal drinking age cannot have booze in the house. I think that's true for most, if not all, NPC sororities. Of course, NIC is a whole different animal.)

There is a chapter of Phi Delta Theta at my school. Apparently, they had a party on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, that was shut down by the police when they discovered underage drinking going on. Double whammy here - this was during rush, and rush is supposed to be dry.

Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, how did the hazing accusation come about? Did a friend/family member see the new member's bruising and report it?
